Sharing the First Year Experience
CHICAGO, Ill. (March 30, 2015) - Rend Lake College staff Christina Kuberski, Vice President of Academic Instruction, and Henry Leeck, Dean of Liberal Arts, participated in the Higher Learning Commission's (HLC) Annual Conference yesterday in Chicago. At the RLC booth, Kuberski and Leeck shared information about the college's First Year Experience (FYE) freshman orientation program, which was named the 2014 Quality Initiative Project by the HLC. Course goals include helping students engage on campus, learn organization skills, prepare to meet professional standards for behavior, and understand and successfully navigate the college culture. The new program started with the need to revamp the then-online orientation process for incoming freshmen at RLC. Now the course is a face-to-face setup and is designed to build stronger connections between students and the faculty and staff. Click on the image for a larger view.
